This paper discusses the indication and efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy for endogenous fungal endophthalmitis, based on our experience in 2 cases. This procedure is beneficial in 4 aspects. It confirms the clinical diagnosis by allowing direct examination of excised vitreous. It removes the vitreous mass in which the fungus is growing. It improves penetration of systemically administeredantifungal agents into the vitreous cavity. It relieves vitreoretinal traction.

During the early phase of the disease, systemic antifungal medication is advocated to treat the involved choroidal and retinal lesions. This medica-tion may fail when the infection involves the vitre-ous. Pars plana vitrectomy is indicated in such cases and also in eyes with vitreoretinal traction. Pars plana vitrectomy is to be considered whenever systemic antifungal medication is not feasible.
